After reading the name of the post you could think there are no similarities between these two countries, as one is in North America and the other in Asia. Completely different cultures, right? In many things that is true. But I found a lot of similarities between my favorite country Mexico and Thailand (still in my […]

If there is one thing I’ve always considered orgasmic, it is the history of Mexico. I have been fascinated by the archaeological sites in Mexico and the Aztec, Maya, Olmec, Tolteca, Mixteca tribes and all the other native Indians living in the Mesoamerica.

I spent 3 months traveling around Mexico back in 2011 during my first time in Mexico – from the centre, West, South, East and back to the centre.

As soon as I stepped into the National Museum of Anthropology and History in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, like all the other visitors, I saw this huge fountain there. The museum is very famous for the fountain. Do you see the small people behind it? The fountain is really BIG!
When I quit my job of stewardess on the 5th March 2011 and came to Mexico on my own on 5 days after this year, it was my first time ever I visited this country full of history, historical sites, contrasts, extremes, mixed people, spicy food, wild animals and amazing turquoise beaches.But Mexico for me […]

All the older Volkswagen Beetles are called VOCHOS in Mexico. I understood this word only once I came to Mexico City, never before heard it. I love these cars, so funny and cute, so I started taking photos of them each time I saw one. I had a collection of almost 100 excellent vocho […]
Before my trip to Mexico, I checked online some places I wanted to visit, I had a route more or less. But did not know how to get from A to B. I decided not to use airplanes as the last 2 years of my life of a cabin crew, I spent a lot of […]
